The First Cruise of the Season

After losing heavily at the upper saloon roulette wheel, then passing through Lyness Customs, I ventured up to Hoy; there was quite a lot of snow over the Bring and going up Lyrawaa.  There were no insurrections during the business of the Hoy Kirk meeting.

CMC encourages me to wear gloves in this weather, which I rarely do.  I did.  I lost a glove.  Worse still my S-i-L found it.  Guilty as charged. 
My NoS stringer tells me it’s going to be a wild night, tonight, in Thurso.  I understand Concave Willie and the Binomials will be playing.  It won’t be a zither or a crumhorn.  Or a rasp.
